About This Item
Hardcover edition with dust jacket, published by Bobbs - Merrill, 1951. This copy is a book club edition. The dust jacket is intact and has been protected with a clear, removable cover. 411 pages, black boards with the title and author name on the spine. All lettering on the spine is crisp and not rubbed or worn. Only minor wear to the jacket, with some edge wear at the head and heel of the spine and some rubbing wear marks to the back panel. Back flap does include 'author of the recently published Confessions of Nat Turner' so this copy most likely from 1967. No former ownership marks, no writing on the text. The binding is tight and square. Rough edged text block is clean, top and bottom edges are clean as well. Boards are flat and show very little wear, the corners are not bumped or worn. This is not a library discard. Attached photo is of the copy we have in our inventory.
